This is a really cool place, It takes a while to look at everything there is so much to see. All of the Staff are friendly and really know their stuff. Have a question, just ask them.

The splash pad here is excellent for big kids, but the water pools up a lot and makes it hard for smaller kids to play. The playgrounds are great for all ages, but it is fairly close to the river. - Morgan Perryman

Vintage atmosphere within a restored 1892 firehouse. The service was good, nice variety of regional beers, and the Paisano Pasta Chips are the perfect appetizer. Often have live music as well. - Erik Rowley
